No. They eat bugs and other small critters.
Anything you want! You could even make up a name like, MaKayla with the first a sounding like ant. I had the same problem naming my stuffed manitee and I named her MaKayla. Don't call me a freak but you could also call her Mandy or Mandoline.
No, a mantis is a carnivore
No, you can't eat a praying mantis.
The mantis sits and waits for prey to come around. Once close, they lash out with their first pair of legs designed for catching and holding prey. They then eat the prey live with their mandibles.A praying mantis can also camouflage themselves as flowers so when theyre prey walks on to the flower/mantis it quickly kills it and eats it.
Other praying mantis, creobroters, European mantis and Larger brown mantis. also some birds will eat a praying mantis (humming birds and other small birds).
The South African Flower Mantis blends in with a flower and then stays still until an insect comes within range. There are many different types of flower mantids that have adapted to look like various flowers.
Preying mantises need live food. Just leave the insect in the jar with the mantis. If the mantis will not eat, that probably means that it is not hungry.
Praying Mantis babies eat small bugs, that are alive. You could use aphids, small flys, fruitflys. If it helps, hold the insect with tweezers in front of the mantis. Make sure the babies have water within 12 hours after they have hacthed, or they WILL die, no matter what. Try using a damp cloth or sponge. Also, if you have more than one Mantis baby, they will probably eat each other if they are not well fed.
Yes they certainly can. My praying mantis loves it
Very often they eat their siblings when they are that small. Other insects that a mantis of that size can eat would be fruit flies, gnats, aphids, etc. As long as the mantis can handle it's prey, it will eat anything.
